Fantasy: I Have a Max-Level Immortal Emperor Account

Chapter 294 Li Kui, the Corpse Puppet Sect Spy!

Half an hour passed.

The two-headed purple python by the pool raised its two house-like amethyst heads, its cold vertical pupils cautiously surveying its surroundings. It probed with its divine sense again and again before finally mustering its courage and bravely taking its first step, breaking free from the mound of earth that had buried it.

"Wow!"

Its body, hundreds of feet long, stretched out.

Countless stones and soil fell off the mound.

"Survived!"

Gazing at the blazing sun breaking through the gaps in the clouds, the two-headed purple python felt a surge of emotions.

This is absolutely amazing!

Above Jishuitan.

Only then did the elders and disciples of the Qingyun Sect notice that the water level in the pool below had risen considerably. At the same time, the pool, which was originally filled with incredibly rich soul energy, was now deathly still, and the soul energy there was even weaker than in other places.

"There really is a problem with the soul meridian!"

One of the elderly men, a Void Refinement Realm cultivator with a white beard, exclaimed in surprise.

If they still can't see that there's a problem with their soul meridian at this point, then their intelligence is truly questionable.

"The soul vein is gone?"

Someone was the first to break the silence.

Immediately, like dominoes falling, everyone was shocked.

Sharp eyes fell entirely on the two-headed purple python below, whose face was beaming with happiness. As the guardian, this purple python would bear full responsibility if its soul meridian was damaged.

However, what concerned them even more was that their sect leader, Zhan Taiqing, had just emerged from the Jishuitan Pond.

They even found this Sect Leader Zhan Taiqing somewhat strange.

The sect leader had clearly left, but suddenly returned midway. Although everyone had questions, no one dared to ask Sect Leader Zhan Taiqing, after all, he was their sect leader!

The two-headed purple python ignored the murderous glares directed at them.

He wasn't afraid of these ants who weren't even at the Dao Integration Realm. He and Zhan Taiqing were bound by a master-servant contract, but that was only within the Jishui Pool, where he had to protect his soul veins.

Although he lost his soul vein, the enemy was too powerful and far beyond his ability. He was powerless to stop them and was almost killed several times. Fortunately, he has now escaped death. Recalling the dangerous moments just now, the two-headed purple python still has lingering fears.

Then, the two-headed purple python ignored the elders and disciples of the Qingyun Sect, swiftly flicked its tail, and entered the pool, disappearing into the cold water.

Out of sight is pure.

Who cares what they do? If they have the guts, they can provoke him. He could easily take on a whole group of them by himself. In the Ghost Realm, nobody listens to reason. Whoever has the bigger fist is right.

"What should we do about the elders?"

"That purple python doesn't seem to want to pay any attention to us!"

"Hmph, isn't it just because he's a higher level?!"

Among the disciples, some were angry, while others felt helpless.

This two-headed purple python was incredibly powerful. Although they all wanted to know what had happened, it was clear that the python was too lazy to bother with them.

“I suspect that the sect leader just now was an imposter. Although his disguise was flawless, the sect leader did leave with all the Dao Integration Realm experts of the sect. The fact that the imposter Zhan Taiqing just now disappeared directly confirms my suspicion!”

Among them, the one with a white beard pondered for a moment before speaking.

"But even if the other party is fake, he is at the very least a Transcending Tribulation Realm expert. We are already very lucky to have survived. Moreover, if he were fake, the two-headed purple python would definitely know. But the problem is that he chose to keep quiet, which may indicate that the other party's strength is much stronger than that purple python."

Another elder at the Void Refinement Realm suddenly spoke up.

"rational!"

"No matter what, we must first get the message to the sect leader; this matter is of utmost importance!!"

The others discussed it.

Immediately, the group took out a long-distance teleportation array and relayed the news of the lost soul vein.

Just now.

Han Long and Chen Li, the gatekeepers from Qingzu Peak, also flew over in a hurry.

"Something bad is going to happen!"

"The Ancestral Peak Treasury has been robbed; all the top-grade ninth-rank pills and magical treasures are missing!!"

Han Long flew over in a panic, slightly out of breath.

At the same time, Han Long and Chen Li exchanged a glance, as if they had made a major decision. They then addressed the crowd, saying, "I suspect that someone impersonated Sect Leader Zhan, because only Sect Leader Zhan Taiqing entered the Ancestral Peak today. Afterwards, Junior Brother Chen and I went to patrol the peak and found that all the Grade 9 pills, magic treasures, and soul stones in the treasure vault had disappeared!"

Everyone knew that if the sect leader wanted to take the treasure from Zufeng, he had to have it recorded with these two people.

Back then, Lin Xuan, disguised as Zhan Taiqing, plundered all of Northeast China that he had his eye on, but didn't say a word. This was the loophole they discovered.

However, neither of them intended to convince so many elders based on just one loophole.

To their utter surprise...

Most of the elders clenched their fists, recalling all that had happened before. Before the Azure Gate Cloud Soul Vein was dug up, even the treasure vault had been stolen, filling their faces with rage.

"This is a classic case of luring the tiger away from the mountain!"

The silver-haired old man said viciously.

"Convinced?"

"You believe us so easily that you doubt the sect leader?"

Han Long and Chen Li stared at the old men who were pounding their chests and stamping their feet, as well as some of the younger generation of disciples, with some surprise.

After a while.

Han Long and Chen Li, upon learning that their soul veins had also been dug out, were filled with rage.

Soul veins are the foundation of a sect.

If it's dug up, the entire sect will suffer, regardless of who is involved.

Meanwhile, the two-headed purple python below was quietly swimming in the pool. Let them argue. That guy who was impersonating Zhan Taiqing had two Transcending Tribulation Realm warriors and thousands of Nascent Soul Realm warriors, and maybe even more. They were comparable to a small sect. Their numbers wouldn't even be enough to fill someone else's teeth.

"Quickly check those mountains where the Dao-Merging Netherworld Beasts are trapped. Those cultivation mountains cannot afford any more accidents!"

Then, the vast group of nearly a thousand people flew away into the distance.

They even activated the sect's protective formation outside the sect!

……

Located three thousand miles southwest of Qingyun Gate, in a desolate mountain forest.

Thousands upon thousands of withered trees, intertwined with each other, created a dark and silent atmosphere. The ground was covered with dead leaves, and wisps of gray ghostly mist drifted through the jungle. A faint whistling sound could be heard in the wind, making it extremely eerie.

If you look down from a high altitude...

It can be seen clearly.

This forest of withered trees, stretching for hundreds of miles, was shrouded in a layer of ghostly mist, where many ghostly spirits and ghostly beasts roamed.

This place, not far from Qingyun Sect, is a training ground for disciples at the Void Core and Golden Core stages, and is called Gray Mist Forest.

Outside the gray fog forest.

A shadowy figure flew across the sky, like a javelin falling from the heavens, and landed straight on the thick branch of a withered tree. It seemed as if there were suction cups under its feet, firmly fixing its body in place.

The ghostly mist that shrouded the shadows dissipated, revealing a person wrapped in white cloth strips, with only a pair of dark eyes visible, filled with a savage killing intent. As they traveled, some of the loose white cloth strips on their body swayed in the wind.

What's concerning is...

The man in the cloth strip also carried a huge bronze coffin on his back. Although the bronze coffin weighed tens of thousands of kilograms, it did not have a significant impact on his speed.

This man was Li Kui, one of the thousands of spies sent out by the Corpse Puppet Sect.

He was at the third level of the Nascent Soul Realm and possessed a Nascent Soul Realm corpse puppet. The reason he carried the coffin on his back was to nourish the corpse puppet at all times. In case of battle, he could also extract power from the corpse puppet to replenish his own consumption.

Now, he has traveled millions of kilometers, crossing countless tribes. Along the way, he even encountered some natives from large tribes. He managed to escape by sheer luck. Fortunately, those natives only knew how to use brute force and had no knowledge of movement techniques, otherwise he would have been in serious trouble.

The sole mission of the spies sent out by the Corpse Puppet Sect was to find traces of the Azure Cloud Sect.

The Corpse Puppet Sect occupied the territory of the Azure Cloud Sect. After losing more than half of its disciples and elders, the Azure Cloud Sect escaped the Corpse Puppet Sect's encirclement. The fact that such a powerful disciple was alive outside was a thorn in the side for everyone in the Corpse Puppet Sect!

After a period of recuperation, the Corpse Puppet Sect selected one thousand inner and core disciples to search for traces of the Azure Cloud Sect, with a focus on the Boundless Wilderness, for a period of three years.

Within three years, any disciple who discovers traces of the Qingyun Sect will be rewarded with an eighth-grade magic weapon and 300,000 mid-grade soul stones. The magic weapon can also be selected from the sect's treasury. This naturally aroused the desire of all spies.

Whether it's a magic weapon or a soul stone, for them, as long as they obtain one of them, they can achieve rapid advancement in their cultivation.

Li Kui slowly raised his head and formed several hand seals.

"Buzz!"

The runes merged into the void.

After a while.

Twenty-one black crows appeared from all directions, flapping their wings and circling around Li Kui, cawing loudly in the quiet environment.

Without the slightest hesitation.

"Five died."

Li Kui glanced at the twenty-one black crows, and a thought flashed through his mind.

He had suffered losses before when using black crows to scout other places, but this time he lost five at once, and the number of casualties had exceeded the average.

He might very well have some unexpected gains.

Then, a glint of black light flashed in the dark eyes of the twenty-one black crows, and twenty-one light screens slowly unfolded in front of Li Kui.

The scene above changed rapidly; these were the scenes the black crows had seen along the way, covering an area of ​​thousands of miles around.

Li Kui stared intently at the black and white scenes on the light screens with his dark eyes.

Given the high damage rate this time, there's a strong possibility that there are other tribes nearby, or perhaps even other unexpected discoveries. He even harbors some hope that they might be able to find the Qingyun Sect's lair this time.

"Shh!"

Sudden.

Li Kui glanced at a black and white light screen, his pupils contracted slightly, and in an instant he took several steps to stand in front of the light screen, his eyes widening.

"It really...we found it!!"

On the frozen black and white screen, there was an extremely clear figure flying on a sword, standing proudly between heaven and earth, about to fly over a mountain. The black crow was resting in the forest at the time and happened to see this scene.

Then, Li Kui continued to cast the spell.

The frozen black and white screen began to move.

The sword aura vanished in a flash, flying over the mountain peak. The black crow, sensing the movement, flapped its wings and followed. After crossing the mountains, it could only see the small back of the sword aura, which then disappeared into the sky and hid among the clouds.

"They went northeast!"

There was a hint of excitement in Li Kui's eyes.

He wanted to double-check.

However, in such a boundless wilderness, the cultivator still wanted to continue north, which already made it more than 60% possible, but we cannot rule out the possibility that there were other hidden families or sects involved.

He dared not send a message back without being 100% certain.

"receive!"

With a wave of his hand, Li Kui put all twenty-one black crows into his storage space.

The next moment, he flew north and summoned a cloud of ghostly mist to hide himself in it. He sped away from the low sky above the jungle. He only needed to take one look to confirm that he had really found the lair of the Qingyun Sect. If he had found it, he would be set for life!

Li Kui even saw the eighth-grade magic weapon and piles of soul stones, which were then beckoning to him.

He could only suppress his excitement for the time being.

Meanwhile, in the space between time and space where Li Kui had been, Lin Xuan stroked his chin. He had been observing Li Kui for a while. This guy seemed to be a member of the Corpse Puppet Sect. He remembered that in his previous life, the sect's patriarch had shamelessly tried to become his lackey, but how could a small sect be his lackey? He easily killed him.

Now that I think about it, the clothes that guy was wearing were very similar to those of the Corpse Puppet Sect, and it seemed like he was looking for the Azure Cloud Sect.

"Heh, Qingyun Sect is my pawn, and you little trash dare to touch my pawn!"

"Kill him!"

"Looks like this guy might cause trouble!"

Lin Xuan sighed inwardly.

If the Qingyun Sect is targeted by the Corpse Puppet Sect, it will be attacked from both sides. Moreover, since they have also taken away the soul vein of the Qingyun Sect, it is impossible for them to fight a protracted war.

I thought about it.

With a thought, Lin Xuan unleashed a surge of wind-attribute spiritual energy from his body, transforming it into a streak of azure light that chased after Li Kui from the spatial rift.

At this moment, in order to better conceal his actions, Li Kui had already put the bronze coffin into his storage space and hidden his aura to the lowest level, flying straight towards Qingyun Sect, which was more than a thousand miles to the north.

Li Kui clenched his fists; this was a golden opportunity for him to soar to great heights!

Sudden.

A sudden, overwhelming sense of crisis arose in Li Kui's heart, as if a guillotine was placed across his neck, its cold light gleaming as if it could fall at any moment and sever his head.

Before Li Kui could react.

A cyan wind blade flew out from the spatial rift, tearing through the void and piercing straight through Li Kui's neck.

"Pfft!"

Accompanied by a muffled sound.

Li Kui's head rolled to the ground.

His natal soul was also blasted apart by the sharp wind-attribute spiritual power. In the blink of an eye, Li Kui, who thought he could soar into the sky, became a corpse!

"solve!"

Lin Xuan, who was inside the spatial rift, clapped his hands with a relaxed expression and continued flying towards the passage.
